Trust Center#

emberTrustCenterLinkKeyRequestPolicies#

EmberTcLinkKeyRequestPolicy emberTrustCenterLinkKeyRequestPolicies[]

emberAppLinkKeyRequestPolicies#

EmberAppLinkKeyRequestPolicy emberAppLinkKeyRequestPolicies[]

Control the policy that the Trust Center uses for determining whether to allow or deny requests for application link keys between device pairs. When a request is received and the policy is EMBER_ALLOW_TC_LINK_KEY_REQUEST_AND_SEND_CURRENT_KEY, the TC will generate a random key and send a copy to both devices encrypted with their individual link keys.

Generally, application link key requests may always be allowed.

emberBroadcastNextNetworkKey#

EmberStatus emberBroadcastNextNetworkKey (EmberKeyData * key)

Broadcast a new encryption key but does not tell the nodes in the network to start using it.

To broadcast a new key, use emberBroadcastNetworkKeySwitch(), which is only valid for the Trust Center/Coordinator. It is not valid when operating in Distributed Trust Center mode.

It is up to the application to determine how quickly to send the Switch Key after sending the alternate encryption key. The factors to consider are the polling rate of sleepy end devices and the buffer size of their parent nodes. Sending too quickly may cause a sleepy end device to miss the Alternate Encryption Key and only get the Switch Key message, which means it will be unable to change to the new network key.

Returns

• An EmberStatus value that indicates the success or failure of the command.

emberSendUnicastNetworkKeyUpdate#

EmberStatus emberSendUnicastNetworkKeyUpdate (EmberNodeId targetShort, EmberEUI64 targetLong, EmberKeyData * newKey)

Send a unicast update of the network key to the target device. The APS command will be encrypted using the device's current APS link key. On success, the bit ::EMBER_KEY_UNICAST_NWK_KEY_UPDATE_SENT will be set in the link key table entry for the device. When a successful call is made to emberBroadcastNetworkKeySwitch(), the bit will be cleared for all entries.

On the first call to this function, the trust center's local copy of the alternate NWK key will be updated with the new value.

Both the short and long address of the device must be known ahead of time and passed in as parameters. It is assumed that the application has already generated the new network key and will pass the same key value on subsequent calls to send the key to different nodes in the network.

Returns

• An EmberStatus value that indicates the success or failure of the command.

emberUnicastCurrentNetworkKey#

EmberStatus emberUnicastCurrentNetworkKey (EmberNodeId targetShort, EmberEUI64 targetLong, EmberNodeId parentShortId)

Send the network key to the target device. The APS command will be encrypted using the device's current APS link key. The call fails if no link key is available.

Both the short and long address of the device must be known ahead of time and passed in as parameters. It is assumed that the application has already generated the new network key and will pass the same key value on subsequent calls to send the key to different nodes in the network.

Returns

• An EmberStatus value that indicates the success or failure of the command.

emberBroadcastNetworkKeySwitch#

EmberStatus emberBroadcastNetworkKeySwitch (void )

Broadcast a switch key message to tell all nodes to change to the sequence number of the previously sent Alternate Encryption Key.

This function is only valid for the Trust Center/Coordinator and will also cause the Trust Center/Coordinator to change its Network Key. It is not valid when operating in Distributed Trust Center mode.

Returns

• An EmberStatus value that indicates the success or failure of the command.

emberTrustCenterJoinHandler#

EmberJoinDecision emberTrustCenterJoinHandler (EmberNodeId newNodeId, EmberEUI64 newNodeEui64, EmberDeviceUpdate status, EmberNodeId parentOfNewNode)

Allow the application running on the Trust Center (which is the coordinator for ZigBee networks) to control which nodes are allowed to join the network. If the node is allowed to join, the trust center must decide whether to send the Network Key encrypted or unencrypted to the joining node.

A default handler is provided and its behavior is as follows. A status of ::EMBER_DEVICE_SECURED_REJOIN means that the device has the Network Key, no action is required from the Trust Center. A status of EMBER_DEVICE_LEFT also requires no action. In both cases, EMBER_NO_ACTION is returned.

When operating in a network with a Trust Center and there is a Global Link Key configured, EMBER_USE_PRECONFIGURED_KEY will be returned, which means the Trust Center is using a preconfigured Link Key. The Network Key will be sent to the joining node encrypted with the Link Key. If a Link Key has not been set on the Trust Center, EMBER_DENY_JOIN is returned.

The ::EMBER_ASK_TRUST_CENTER decision has been deprecated. This function will not be called for a router or end device when operating in a Network With a Trust Center.

If the device is a router in a network that is operating in a Distributed Trust Center Security mode, the handler will be called by the stack.

The default handler in a Distributed Trust Center Security mode network is as follows: If the router received an encrypted Network Key when it joined, a preconfigured Link key will be used to send the Network Key Encrypted to the joining device (EMBER_USE_PRECONFIGURED_KEY). If the router received the Network Key in the clear, it will also send the key in the clear to the joining node (EMBER_SEND_KEY_IN_THE_CLEAR).

Returns

• EMBER_USE_PRECONFIGURED_KEY to allow the node to join without sending it the key. EMBER_SEND_KEY_IN_THE_CLEAR to allow the node to join and send it the key. EMBER_DENY_JOIN to reject the join attempt. The value should not be returned if the local node is itself the trust center.

emberBecomeTrustCenter#

EmberStatus emberBecomeTrustCenter (EmberKeyData * newNetworkKey)

Cause a coordinator to become the Trust Center when it is operating in a network that is not using one. It will send out an updated Network Key to all devices that will indicate a transition of the network to now use a Trust Center. The Trust Center should also switch all devices to using the new network key with a call to emberBroadcastNetworkKeySwitch().

Returns

• An EmberStatus value that indicates the success or failure of the command.

emGetNetworkIndexForForkedGlobal#

uint8_t emGetNetworkIndexForForkedGlobal (void )

Control the policy that the Trust Center uses for determining whether to allow or deny requests for Trust Center link keys.

The following is a good set of guidelines for TC Link key requests:

• If preconfigured TC link keys are set up on devices, requests for the TC key should never be allowed (EMBER_DENY_TC_LINK_KEY_REQUESTS).

• If devices request link keys during joining (i.e., join in the clear and set EMBER_GET_LINK_KEY_WHEN_JOINING) then it is advisable to allow requesting keys from the TC for a short period of time (e.g., the same amount of time "permit joining" is turned on). Afterwards, requests for the TC link key should be denied.

emberSendRemoveDevice#

EmberStatus emberSendRemoveDevice (EmberNodeId destShort, EmberEUI64 destLong, EmberEUI64 deviceToRemoveLong)

Send an APS remove device command to the destination. If the destination is an end device, this must be sent to the parent of the end device. In that case, the deviceToRemoveLong and the destLong will be different values. Otherwise, if a router is being asked to leave, those parameters will be the same. This command will be APS encrypted with the destination device's link key, which means a link key must be present.

Returns

• An EmberStatus value indicating success or failure of the operation.

emberSendTrustCenterLinkKey#

EmberStatus emberSendTrustCenterLinkKey (EmberNodeId destinationNodeId, EmberEUI64 destinationEui64)

Send the trust center link key to a node.

This function sends an APS TransportKey command containing the current trust center link key. The node to which the command is sent is specified via the short and long address arguments.

Returns

• An EmberStatus value indicating success or failure of the operation.

EMBER_FORM_TRUST_CENTER_NETWORK_BITMASK#

#define EMBER_FORM_TRUST_CENTER_NETWORK_BITMASK

A Trust Center device configuration bitmask example. The Trust Center is expected to be set up with a Network Key Preconfigured Link Key that is global throughout all devices on the Network. The decision whether or not to send the key in-the-clear is NOT controlled through this bitmask. It is controlled via the emberTrustCenterJoinHandler(...) function.

EMBER_FORM_DISTRIBUTED_TRUST_CENTER_NETWORK_BITMASK#

#define EMBER_FORM_DISTRIBUTED_TRUST_CENTER_NETWORK_BITMASK

A coordinator device configuration bitmask example. The coordinator is expected to be set up with a Network Key and a Preconfigured Link Key that is global throughout all devices on the Network. The decision whether or not to send the key in-the-clear is decentralized. Each individual router can make this decision via the emberTrustCenterJoinHandler(...) function.
